Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 28:5

5 By thy great wisdom, and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches , and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches .

Here the eminent degree of this Princes Wisdom is owned.

And, might as well be spared, for, as 'tis not in the Heb. so it rather obscures, then clears the Text, let it be read by thy great Wisdom in thy Traffick, and 'tis very plain, and so the French reads it.

Made great or enlarged.

Thy Power, as ver. 4. let. n.

Exalts it self, carrieth it loftily, and proudly above thy Neighbours, which is not good, above thy self, which is worse, and above God too, which is worst of all, as ver. 2.

Thy puissance at home, and abroad by Nature and Art.

Marginal references: Heb. by the greatness of thy wisdom.
